Remove the dot `.` on the package name `Play 2.0`

Open evandrocoan opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

On https://github.com/wbond/package_control_channel/pull/2524 (Test against package names containing periods) was determinate that Sublime Text 3 cannot support package names within dot on their names. Then all the packages with dot . on their names should either be renamed without the dot, or marked as Sublime Text 2 supported.

If after sometime, a pull request to package_control_channel removing the dot . on the package name is not sent, the package will be marked as supported by Sublime Text 2 only. Currently the package is marked as supported by all versions of Sublime Text.


What steps do I need to take?

Just open a pull request on the package control channel renaming you package to a new name without a dot. On your case, the new change could be like this:

		{
			"name": "Play 2",
			"details": "https://github.com/guillaumebort/play2-sublimetext2",
			"previous_names": ["Play 2.0"],
			"releases": [
				{
					"sublime_text": "*",
					"branch": "master"
				}
			]
		},

By using the previous_names array, everybody who has installed your package will get their installed name renamed as soon as package control starts updating the packages.
